Neither, Tom. This thread was about whether the collecting of Leicas has an
impact on the price and availability of used equipment. I believe that it
does, as does the fact that I believe that a goodly number of Leicas are
purchased and preserved by those to whom they mean more as status symbols
than as tools. That's neither good nor bad, but it does mean that there tend
to be fewer "users" around. And I certainly hope that people have goals that
are different from mine - the world would be an awfully boring place were
that not the case. :-)
